Camping under the stars, you'll be surrounded by the sounds of nature—elephants in the distance and kingfishers singing their melodies.

Trip Itinerary
Day 1 Time to Take Off!
Head to the international airport and board your overnight flight to Johannesburg.
Day 2 Arrive in Johannesburg
Land in Johannesburg in the early hours of the morning. You will have the whole day to adjust and prepare for the exciting adventure that awaits you. Spend the night at the Rivonia Lodge in Johannesburg in a standard en-suite room.
Day 3 To Botswana

Depart from Johannesburg in the early morning, head north into Botswana and the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. The Khama Rhino Sanctuary Trust is a community-based wildlife project established in 1992 to assist in saving the vanishing rhino. Their ambitions are to restore an area formerly teeming with wildlife to its previous natural state, and to provide economic benefits to the local Botswana community through tourism and the sustainable use of natural resources. This reserve is situated on the Kalahari sandveld which has several natural waterholes and provides prime habitat for white rhino, zebra and wildebeest.
You will stay at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, in a twin-share room with one bathroom shared between two rooms.
Day 4 Maun!

Drive through the Kalahari to Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Since Maun’s founding in 1915 as the capital of the Batawana people, it has had a reputation as a hard-living ‘Wild West’ town helping the local cattle ranching and safari operations. The name "Maun" is derived from the San word "maung", which translates "the place of short reeds."
There is an optional activity of a scenic flight over the Okavango Delta (at your own expense).You'll spend the night at the Island Safari Loadge in a twin bedroom with en-suite facilities. You will also have use of the swimming pool, bar, and restaurants.
Day 5-6 A night under the stars in the Okavango Delta

Today you will drive into the Okavango Delta to the launch station where you will board a mokoro and pole to the tented camp in the heart of the largest inland delta in the world. This amazing environment has large numbers of red lechwe, buffalo, elephants, and birds, particularly kingfishers! One of the best experiences in the Okavango Delta is to be poled along reed-lined channels in a mokoro (dug-out canoe). Sit back and relax as the water gurgles gently under the mokoro while your skilled poler points out the fauna and flora.
Spend the following two nights in a wilderness-tented camp. Each tent is equipped with twin camp beds and en-suite chemical toilets. The camp has a shared bucket shower - with hot water provided! Please note that you want to leave no trace of your stay here so take all rubbish away with you.
Day 7-10 Game drives in Moremi

Cruise in an open 4-wheel drive vehicle into Moremi Game Reserve where there is fantastic game viewing. Chief’s Island is the largest landmass within Moremi. The next four days will be spent on game drives in both the Moremi Game Reserve and in private concession reserves surrounding the park. These areas are home to a variety of wildlife including elephants, hippos, buffalo, and lions. In the afternoon of day 10, you will return to Maun.
During the first three nights, you will stay in an exclusive private tented bush camp. On the fourth night, upon returning to Maun, you will spend another night at the Island Safari Lodge.
Day 11 Makgadikgadi Pans

Today you will head to Nata. The shimmering saltpans of Makgadikgadi appear as a glaring white, endless plain. When the rain comes a dramatic change takes place as thousands of wildebeest and zebra migrate to the sweet nutritious grasslands and clouds of flamingos feed in its algae-rich waters. It is an area of low rainfall, so this spectacle only lasts a short while. (Please note due to high rainfall in the area over the last few years that there is water in the section of the pans you will visit)
Stay at Nata Lodge in a twin luxury tent with en suite facilities, a swimming pool, a restaurant, and a bar.

Day 14-15 Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Over these two days, you will visit “Mosi oa Tunya” or “the smoke that thunders” - Victoria Falls. These magnificent falls are one of the seven natural wonders of the world. A rich and fertile rain forest, fed by the spray or “smoke”, surrounds the falls attracting colourful birdlife. There are optional activities to white water raft on the mighty Zambezi River, go bungee jumping, take a scenic flight over the falls, and more (at your own expense)
